Fainting During Pregnancy Posted: 01-16-07 13:39pm
I've always been a little weirdo I have
bad anxiety attacks sometimes get weak
dizzy and pass out, only for a few seconds
, I think the longest I was ever out for
was about 20 seconds. Two times since my
15th week I have fainted although there
really hasn't been any lead up to it ,
usually I know very well when i'm gonna
faint but these times my heart rate goes
way up and I hit the floor. I have no
time to brace myself or warn anyone.
I am going to see a doctor about it this
afternoon but I was wondering if any of
you have ever experienced this before...

I have severe anxiety disorder, &.I've
had a few minor panic attacks during my
pregnancy, &one really bad one where
.I fell to the floor &pretty much
blacked out (.I was still concious)..
&.Sometimes when .I'm at work, .I get
super dizzy &lightheaded &.I black
out &have to sit down for a really
long time. I'm also anemic, which is one
reason .I think the latter happens. I've
been taking iron supplements which has
helped a lot. Maybe you're also anemic?
&.If your panic attacks are a problem,
tell your doctor, &s/he should be able
to refer you somewhere to get a
prescription medication that's safe during
pregnancy.
I had anxiety attacks with my first
pregnancy, but not so far with this one.
I hate them, it's the worst feeling in the
world.

I hate them to, it's not a fun feeling, my
body feels like it weighs 500pounds and
it's pretty rough to cope with. Doc says
I just gotta stay calm , being the stress
casa that I am doesn't help ... So wish
me luck!

I passed out all the time when pregnant
with nathan, I had very low blood pressure
which is unusual in pregnancy. The worst
time was when I was grocery shopping, I
felt like I was going to throw up, then
woke up with about 5 people standing over
me, and a ambulance already enroute.
Embrassing. The doctor said it was
because I am such a small person, and
nathan was sooo darn big. He would cut
blood flow off to areas when squirming
around. I haven't had any problem yet
with this one...We'll see
